Question

Fifteen-year-old Diego is arrested and spends thirty days in juvenile detention. He begins to see himself as a delinquent while there. When he is released, he commits more crimes. Edwin Lemert would consider the crimes Diego commits after being released:___________

Answer 1

As secondary deviances.

Step-by-step explanation:

In sociology, "deviance" is defined as the violation or drift from what's socially acceptable; as far as an individual's actions and/or behaviour.

Acording to Lemert's theory, primary deviance is when an individual engages initially in the act of deviance. Secondary deviance is when the individual starts off a process of a what Lemert calls a "deviant identity", which is to say that he or she is integrating diviances into conceptions of his/ her self, which could afect him/her long term.
